About this lesson
This lesson covers the five key tools for assessing your competitive environment—PESTEL, Porter's Five Forces, Porter's National Diamond, competitor analysis, and SWOT—and explores how different drivers of change (globalisation, technology, demographics) shape strategy. You'll also discover the different roles businesses can play within ecosystems, from platform providers like Amazon to asset providers like AWS, and understand concepts like mutuality and orchestration that show how companies coordinate with rivals and suppliers. This is a core part of E3 Strategic Management, making up 20% of the syllabus and worth 12 exam questions.
